Subject: Anniversary Achievements bugged?

Before anyone asked, I tried searching for threads about this, but you get a LOT of search results for "Anniversary Achivements bugged/not working"

Anyway, I'm asking because, on an Anniversary Map, in the Anniversary Playlist, I know I've gotten three headshots in a row for Top Shot. I also know that I did From Hell's Heart, as well (got stuck, moved towards guy who stuck me, no dice)

Are the achievements glitched? Or am I just really unlucky?

When the game is over, the king and pawn go into the same box

Same here. In the majority of the threads I've seen, they weren't trying on an Anniversary map or Anniversary playlist, so at least you have that part right. I was thinking there was something hinky with them, but just last night I got Top Shot.

I think for top shot it has to be in the form of a triple kill go into SWAT to do it my friend got it there. I dont know about hells heart but the last man standing one do you have to be the last man standing for all 3 rounds?

They are a bit glitchy. I got 9 splatter kills on Breakneck for the License To Kill chivo and nothing unlocked. I later on got it with 6 splatter kills on Ridgeline.

yup they are all pretty much a little derpy

so far i have gotten 3 of them done without a problem, i think the issue with them is if u take notice that some say defiant and some say anvy, that might be the issue, it is also possible that when the TU was implemented, the old patch that occurred with the defiant pack my have been altered, so they might re-release a new patch that fixes it, give 343 sometime, and make sure to check 343 community forums from time to time, answers will be posted there not here!!

yeah this reminds me of the time i got sent to jail for stealing crocs from target becozs i wanted all of the colors because i only got the green wons for my birthday and i wanted more ;)

Top Shot can't be done in Infection. Not sure if there are any other restrictions apart from being on an Anniversary map.

From Hell's Heart is a bit deceptive. The description says to kill the person who stuck you, but the person has to suicide from the grenade.

Everyone is entitled to their own wrong opinion.


I'm part of the Bungie.net Minecraft group/server called SeptaCrafters
We're a Bungie.net group that goes to our very own Bungie server. Most players are from the Halo community either off Bungie itself or through word to Halo friends.

First off it needs to be on an Anniversary map. And I think you need to use the DMR, I'm not sure if the snipe works.

If top shot is the three headshots in a row on an Anniversary map, then thats not necessarily true. Got that with the sniper on Timberline.

Other than that, I haven't even bothered to get the other achievements. I just play the game, and if I get them, I get them.

top -blam!- needs to be done on battle canyon and from hells heart also
its stupid map specific achivements
the hardest is dont touch that and all alone

oh? which ones exactly? ive had 4 different friends get em on 3 different maps man, i honestly think some ppl are just gettin screwed. not everyone

  • 12.12.2011 8:09 AM PDT

I can confirm the snipe works, cause when i got the achievement i got a collateral with the sniper then switched to pistol to 1 shot the guy hitting me from behind, who had like no life left.

Inheritor #156 :p

I got top shot on breakneck in a game of BTB, wasn't a triple kill or anything like that. Just 3 in a row.

  • 12.12.2011 8:52 AM PDT

Strange. I have every achievement. Not a single glitched for myself.
